The Management of Ghana Water Ltd (GWL) in the Ashanti Region has shut down the Barekese Water Treatment plant and the Achiase Booster for repairs.
The shutdown is due to a major burst on the 36” (900mm) transmission line that supplies water to a greater part of the Kumasi metropolis.
In a statement, the GWL explained that the transmission line was damaged by equipment used by the contractor constructing drains from the Suame roundabout to Breman Ahenful.
The affected areas include Suame, Tafo/Pankrono, Asokwa, Bantama, Sokoban, Kronum, Barekese, Manhyia, Oforikrom, Kwadaso, Atasamanso, Kotwi, Adum, KNUST, Odoum, Asokore Mampong, and surrounding areas.
GWL assures that its engineers are working diligently to repair the line and resume operations as soon as possible, adding that water supply will resume immediately upon completion of the works.
